Graphics drivers/frameworks are updated but I still get the same graphical glitches as DP3 on my GTX 460. The update failed for me (reading the logs it seems kextcache had a problem updating and forced a reboot) but when it rebooted it appeared that most/all of it was installed.

I'm gonna try a fresh DP3 install and update and see if there's any change there.

Update:

Fresh install updated OK (FakeSMC and IntelCPUMonitor were causing problems in my old install, missing dependencies). But the graphical problems remain so DP2 is restoring now.

OK, got DP3 update installed and booted on the first try, what I did was, after downloading it when appstore/software update asked if I wanted to restart and install I hit cancel. Went to /Library/Updates and ran the package installer from there. When it was complete and asked to restart, I did not restart and left that window chillin. then went and deleted fakesmc from S/L/E and reinstalled it using the HWMonitor installer from these forums(latest version), then clicked the restart window. During shutdown it said again to restart to install and clicked OK, then said there was an error and couldn't install updated(because I had already installed it) after clicking through a couple such pop up windows, restared and booted normal. Just need to reinstall my my onboard audio. This is similar to the T#nymac snowleo easyb#ast update process using combo updates, but without using their tools.

some very early results: Cinebench open GL +7 FPS vs DP3 prior to update and +50 points in Novabench, primarily due to higher FPS in it's Graphics tests, unique heaven +500 points appox! ocean wave +20fps, but......slight tearing within window when dragging windows around on desktop and some glitches when 2 or more windows on screen are using transparency and one of them is active. I'll take smooth pretty UI over benchmark scores any day.

At first I had when I was the modified kexts because of non-functioning video (noQE/CI) were active, an "InstallationFailed" error.

Then againI have all original kexts, which I had previously only been renamed as e.g. kext123.kext-orig named back then and I re-runthe software update. It went flawlessly. And I had this file in S/L/Core Service: PlatformSupport.plist activated again,which I hadpreviously renamed in PlatformSystem.plist-orig. Much light was also aboutthe first attempt the installation. But I think it was because of the changing of my graphics Kexte.

And then the pleasant surprise came after the restart, it works with the graphics QE/CI !.So that was a success.

It is still not as perfect representations of the 3D but it is now usable.

I think , as with DP 3 (first) AMD GPU users have some more fun with that. Nvidia stays bad , compared to Lion + DP1/DP2 in case of OpenGL/QE/OpenCL problems.
Maybe Nvdia gets better in later versions, because AMD user base is much bigger on real Macs.

After removing correspoding launcher files (/System/Library/Launch*/com.apple.tcc.*), the system started working. It looks like an AppleID related daemon, which does not exist in Lion. Does anyone know something about it ?
